The main focus is on the capture of waste thermal energy for example from industrial processes, transport systems or the human body to generate useable electrical power.  A wide range of technologies is discussed, including external combustion heat cycles at MEMS ( Brayton, Stirling and Rankine), Thermoacoustic, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), Multiferroics, Thermionics, Pyroelectric, Seebeck, Alkali Metal Thermal, Hydride Heat Engine, Johnson Thermo Electrochemical Converters, and the Johnson Electric Heat Pipe.SpringerBriefs in electrical and computer engineering.Waste heatMicroelectromechanical systemsWaste heat.Microelectromechanical systems.333.79670.286Percy Stevenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut861064Knight Chrisauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMcGarry Scottauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autPost Alexauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMoore Timauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autCavanagh Kateauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910299495703321Thermal Energy Harvesting for Application at MEMS Scale1921654UNINA
